1. One line is parallel to another if the two have the same slope, thus they don’t intersect (Young, 2010). Therefore, to find a line parallel to a given line, it is firstly necessary to establish that the lines have the same slope. The slope value helps to construct a general equation of the lines parallel to the given one. For y=-2x+4 with the slope equal to -2, all parallel lines have the form y=-2x+b, where b is the y-intercept of the equation (the line intercepts y-axis b units away from the origin). Since the line sought passes through a point represented by ...
